Henry Mwale: Mbeki is not a great African statesman,remember he was forced out of power for trying to fix Zuma through unorthodox means.

Ogot Nyakwar: Thabo Mbeki is no statesman by endorsing a clearly flawed election ,we know what happened beyond closed doors,he was sent to RAO but he didn’t agree, he sold us to the devil, let him go solve lazy bum SA issues first

Victoria Ochwal: Good for you, as Kenyans die,you are meeting brokers of death

Daniel Maina: And your wife too, we want Isaac Ruto on the bench cos he need to tell us how even after they fixed his nose in South Africa still he couldn’t smell the overwhelming defeat.

Virginia Nyambu Wanjau: He is all grown, I remember when you took him to see Mandela he was just a baby then. Anywoo sisi tuko hapa kayole tukingoja wagitheri

Mike Wiresire Wayasa: Tell him we had PEACE before elections, its only JUSTICE we are looking for. Now he is leaving us with none, they have even taken away the PEACE we had.

Chebi Michael: When you’re done there is peace throughout Kenya,please take him around Kibera,Mathere,let him have the wider picture,that it’s not all happiness and the ‘good life’,maybe he’ll be like Thabo Mbeki one day

Mwangi Maina: Yaani Jeff. You sourced from outside. Aaai jamani. Hii migration italeta siiiiida. U couldn’t get one our own…eg Bob Collymore…eg waiguru
